【小柳ルミ子】「離婚したくて、浮気した」——25年間、たった一行で守った沈黙の真実

"I cheated because I wanted a divorce." This is how the affair scandal with Ken'ya Osumi began to be described. But did you know that Rumiko Koyanagi kept one truth hidden for 25 years? 18 consecutive appearances on Kohaku Uta Gassen, a 300 million yen wedding, a 15-second kiss, and 100 million yen in alimony. In that era when everyone called her a "demon wife," why did she choose silence? Did the lover she cheated with, whom a private investigator couldn't find despite three years of separation, truly exist? The words of her mother in Hakata who continued to believe in her daughter, her 48-year bond with her younger brother figure, Ken Shimura, and the retirement she stopped because of a single column by Keisuke Kuwata. Now 73 years old, she watches 2000 soccer matches a year. What does she see beyond those 2000 matches? From Showa to Reiwa, the trajectory of one singer's 50-year journey. This is a 54-minute documentary. 🕐 Chapters 00:00 Opening 01:50 Chapter 1: A Woman with Many Loves and Christmas Eve 05:45 Chapter 2: A Dancing Couple and a Prophecy 09:51 Chapter 3: I'll Do It.
